The Shell-Dwelling Species

There are numerous Shell-Dwelling Cichlids, not all of
which are even from the genus Neolamprologus or Lamprologus.
These genus have undergone some revision; it is currently
unclear which species belong to which genus, as they were
all formerly Lamprologus. Some species are also
less attached to their shell homes than others. A list of
many Lamprologine Shell-Dwelling species is below:

There are also many undescribed species and/or races.
Many of the species also have several races or collection
points. It is imperative not to mix these races, as they
will freely hybridize. Below are some examples of some popular
shell-dwelling Cichlids. The caption under each image is the name of the species pictured.
